can usually open your e-mail client by clicking on the above link. I
try to answer all legitimate e-mails, but sometimes I get overwhelmed,
particularly since I've been working on Imatest.
Sometimes an e-mail falls through the cracks or gets relegated to the spam box; send it again if you
think
I might have lost it. I may not be able
to
respond promptly when I'm traveling.

September
2004. Imatest,
software for testing sharpness and image quality in digital cameras and
digitized film images, was launched September 4. It continues to be an
all-consuming project for me.

April
2004.
I posted a few images from my trip to
Monument Valley/Hunt's Mesa (a workshop with Steve
Kossack) and Canyonlands. I'm working on software for testing
sharpness
and image quality in digital cameras and digitized film images. It's
not
yet ready for an official announcement-- it takes a lot more work than
just writing a functional program.

February
2004.
I updated the calculations in Digital
vs. film to reflect my experience with the EOS-10D.
Digital comes off better than before. I also divided this page into two
parts.

January
2004.
I visited the Bay area Jan. 18-26, where I spent three days at the
Electronic
Imaging conference in San Jose. I visited Quang-Tuan
Luong and saw his beautiful large
format prints. He will be a father soon! I conducted an informal
workshop at Point Lobos and Big Sur. It was great fun. I hope
to
do more, perhaps here in Boulder or when I visit the Bay Area again at
the end of May. I'll be travelling to the Northwest-- Portland,
Seattle,
and beyond. Let me know if you'd like to
coordinate
a workshop in your area.

March
2003. I spent nearly two weeks traveling around southern Utah
early this month. Didn't get many great photos, but I learned a lot
about
the area. I've added travel
information
to my Technique page. I attended the
huge PMA
show in Las Vegas and decided to buy the Canon 10D digital SLR.

February
2003. I moved material on Light
&
color to a new page with more detail on HSL and HSV color
representation.
I added a new calibration/test
chart for color printers that should be particularly valuable for
evaluating
ICC profiles. When I get more results I may put them on a new page.

January
1, 2004. Our Chief Feline Officer, Spirit, passed away this
morning.
Farewell, sweet friend. Spirit had been suffering from feline
diabetes,
arthritis, and a variety of other ailments. He was promoted to CFO in
December
2002. In his previous capacity as people controller, Spirit steered the
company clear of financial scandal and grew it to the point where
revenues
covered web hosting and catfood-- no mean feat for a dotcom, especially
since a new
web hosting plan was adopted in November 2002 when monthly traffic
started to exceed the previous
plan's 25 GB limit. We will miss you, old friend.
